Unless you suffered some traumatic brain injury, nobody is going to believe you can't unlock your phone after being in detention for 24 hours.

It would probably be treated as an intentional wipe.

Perhaps the trauma of being in detention made you unable to remember it? It's really up to the prosecution/accusers to prove it, isn't it?

Don't lie, just don't talk.

In that case, you can argue you gave the duress password by accident, too.

There's already precedent that you cannot be forced to give up your passwords. It's a 5th amendment violation. But I'm not sure if it applies to this case or not.

Yeah, there's reading the bill of rights, understanding what it means and how it was intended, and it's another thing to understand how it's been thoroughly chipped away at, year by year, state by state, decision by decision. You would legitimately be shocked and horrified at how many exceptions there are, and this MAY fall within one of them the--the border exception.
